"Clothes worn to substitute for speech."
"Clothes as a way of socializing that stands in for other forms of engagement. Clothes worn to substitute for speech. Clothes worn to fit in, to pass.

Clothes as a search for the self other people appeared to have – though maybe it was just the way they “put themselves together.”" - Joanna Walsh
